wanderers pitch report
The Wanderers, known as the Bullring, provides a flat surface for batsmen with real bounce and a quick outfield, often producing high-scoring T20 games with an average of 176 in the first innings historically. Recent SA20 trends show low totals around 140-150, which helps fast bowlers with seam movement, making batting easier later on. Weather expected to remain clear; Teams batting first get a slight advantage
